The increase in the degree of fluctuation asymmetry is accompanied, among others, by diseases such as morphea en coup de sabre (morphea ECDS) or Parry‑Romberg syndrome (PHA). Patients suffering from them struggle not only with dermatological defects, but also with neurological, rheumatological, orthopedic, ophthalmological and dental symptoms. Morphological and functional disorders and craniofacial deformities related to them often generate psychosocial problems. The complexity of the issues to be solved proves the necessity of undertaking interdisciplinary actions aimed at developing objective diagnostic and therapeutic protocols, restoring (especially in pediatric patients) as close as possible to the correct developmental patterns, inhibiting the active phase of the disease and undertaking effective and aesthetically satisfying measures.
